Run and Hide (after)

Oh, it went well! God is so good to me! I had practiced so much, and was so sure of what He wanted me to say, that I wasn't even particularly nervous. Isn't that an absolute miracle?
My closing was about sending an SOS: I told the ladies to have a Safety plan, make Opportunities to be active or have a job, and to stay Sensitive to God's leading.
I pointed out that my safety plan included packing the crowd with friendly faces (and NINE friends not from my church showed up!). The opportunity to have a job was pretty obvious; my job was to talk to them! And as far as being sensitive to His leading is concerned, I told them I wanted them to know that God loves you, and will take care of you, and is the best hiding place there is!
When I asked for comments or questions, several women said they really needed to hear that from God. So I was doing what He wanted—wonderful!
